The gym in the Leste Teresina Zone was closed on Thursday (the 1st) because it was operating without proper registration with the Regional Council for Physical Education of the 15th Region (CREF-15).
This decision was made during an inspection conducted in June by consumer protection and professional category authorities.
During the inspection, the gym received a notice and was given a period of 15 working days to provide defense or report on measures taken to legalize the situation. However, according to Procon, this deadline expired without the institution providing any response.
Before announcing the closure, the body checked the public registry of CREF-15 and confirmed that the company still lacks regular registration.
Procon specified that the violation is related specifically to the company's registration, not to the individual qualifications of the specialists working at the location.
Resumption of operations depends on legalization
The gym will remain closed until it provides Procon and the Ministry of Public Prosecution of Piauí (MPPI) with documents confirming its legalization in accordance with CREF-15.
After submitting the necessary documentation, the body can re-examine the case and decide on the resumption of the gym's activities.
